Bristol City manager backs history to repeat itself as he opens up on Antoine Semenyo's injury

Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has backed Antoine Semenyo to continue studying his own game following his spell on the sidelines 12 months ago and return a better player after his injury set-back.

The striker cast the Robins a big pre-season blow after it was confirmed he will be out of action for up to 12 weeks with a shin injury, ruling him out of the opening games of the season with a return to training likely to be at the beginning of September.

Semenyo sustained the injury earlier this month after making his international debut with Ghana earlier in the month as a substitute in an African Cup of Nations qualifying victory over Madagascar and returned to the club for more checks and treatment.
